大家好：

还记得两天前我介绍了建水古城，今天介绍以下当地的小吃。烤豆腐。之所以单独写它，是因为在当地，只要去建水旅游的乘客，一般都会买烤豆腐吃。它有着超高的人气，《舌尖上的中国》曾经就在此录制了建水小吃--烤豆腐。。
这足以说明它有多美味了。。我们来看一下。。

相较临安西路，东路这边美食更多，特别是翰林街一带，大概因为游客多些，这里是美食扎堆，其中最出名的就要算“建水第一楼——香满楼”了。

这是一座古色古香的二层楼四合院，最火爆的时候连院子里都会摆上几桌散座。

建水当地饮食最大特点是大多都是天然、无污染的绿色食品，那里的蔬菜种类齐全，甚至还有许多具有药用价值的野生蔬菜。特色食品有临安烧豆腐、狮子糕、泡糕等。

凡到建水旅游的外地游客，总免不了要品尝建水特有的临安烧豆腐。那别具一格的味道，绕颊的余香，常常令人回味无穷。

临安城豆腐的历史极其悠久，早在清代中后期就享有盛名。其中以城西周氏烧豆腐味道最佳，相传周氏豆腐从清光绪九年（公元1883年）开始制作，其选料认真，加工精细，专用大而圆的白皮黄豆，做出的豆腐洁白细嫩、火烘不变黑；做好后用小块纱布包好，压上特别的木板，待水流尽后，去掉纱布装入簸箕内，每块豆腐放上一点盐，再盖上一张簸箕，隔日翻动一次，待呈灰白色，即可烧食。

烧时用火盆装上点燃的木炭，架上用铁条焊接成的炕，铁条上涂以香油，放上豆腐烘烧，边烤边翻动，待豆腐充气膨胀，即可蘸以配好的甜咸酱油、辣椒面、蒜泥、味精等佐料食用。

建水城街巷、菜市、夜市、风景旅游景点的烧豆腐摊，人来熙住，成为古城中的一道亮丽风景线。

thank you !
